Early Problem Detection

6 Signs Your AC Needs Service Right Away

If you experience any of the symptoms below, contact an authorized Daikin technician right away before serious damage occurs.

AC Only Blows Regular Air

The airflow feels strong, but the room doesn't get cool even when the remote is set to a low temperature.

Heavily clogged filter or low refrigerant pressure.

Water Dripping from the Indoor Unit

Water drips or leaks from under the indoor unit, wetting blankets or the floor below the AC.

The drain line is clogged with moss/dust and needs a high-pressure water wash.

Musty / Unpleasant Odor

An unpleasant or musty smell appears when the AC is first turned on.

Mould spores have built up on the evaporator fins and need an antibacterial clean.

Noisy / Vibrating Sound

The outdoor or indoor unit makes unusual humming, squeaking, or vibrating noises.

Fan blocked by dirt, or the unit mounting needs tightening by a technician.

Electricity Bill Spikes

Daily usage is the same as usual, but electricity costs have risen sharply.

The compressor struggles because the compressor & condenser are dirty.

AC Turns Off by Itself / Blinking Light

The AC unit often shuts off by itself a few minutes after being turned on, or the power indicator light keeps blinking.

Compressor overheating, or the thermistor sensor needs calibration by a technician.
